I was wondering if anyone would trade their TFP for a galaxy nexus lte.. I was originally offered by someone else but when I displayed interest he decided not to do it.. I'm still willing to do the trade if someone wants to.. its a brand née nexus that's never been used.. I have 2 of them

GSM or LTE?
I dunno...something seems odd. I have both and I use each for different reasons. I'd keep the prime and wait for my contract to run out and get a next phone with the renewal dicount.
PS - Galaxy Nexus is now $100 with new contract.
No I have GummyNex and they want to trade their TFP to me.. I'm tempted I just don't know if its worth it.

The galaxy nexus costs more at full price... so it actually does make sense. /fail
who cares about the cost that's not the point his statement is perfectly valid. There's many things that cost less then other products but still out do them. Plus I'm pretty sure the cost of making a prime is more then making a Gn. Retail is just different for both

I can get the galaxy nexus, brand new and sim free for £350 (from a high street shop) you wont find a transformer prime for that. Id swap in an instant if i had nexus
Sorry, it'll take more then a Nexus phone to get me to give up my Prime.

Well the offer is still out there.. the TFP is just the tabby I want so it doesn't matter the value of the phone.. if someone wants to do it please let me know

i have both and honestly if i had to choose one to keep it would be my nexus, it's FASTlike faster than my prime, including most web browsing, using same browser both with adaway but i still prefer the larger screen of the prime, the camera on the nexus out preforms my primes camera in most situations surprisingly, also the nexus is more expensive unlocked at least in the US, especially if you get the GSM version like i did, luckily i got it for about $150 from dailysteals. So i completely understand why the OP would want to get rid of his nexus for a prime but at the same time i would keep my nexus.
I would say speeds are comparable however in gaming the prime blows past nexus

You still looking for a Prime. I have one I'd be willing to trade ya.

I'm talking about value. Not price. There is a reason I didn't put the costs there. Plus, it is hard to get a good unit so do you really want to trade and buy another and end up with a wifi borked unit? Suckit.jpg

Xoom Family on sale @ Bestbuy I think its $349
I'd love to get a tablet with Qualcomm's new chips more than anything. Likely holding out here till next yr and get one with it and enjoy lte modem built on the die of the chip and great battery life savings because of such.
If I had to get one now it'd be the prime more likely if cost didn't matter.
Though if cost didn't matter id shell out for Qualcomm's developer tablet that's supposed to.be available in the early spring finally.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and a Motorola Xoom
Both very very similar though i must say I like the Galaxy Tab 10.1 more. The Xoom just cam down in price since the Xoom 2 is about to be releases, so maybe u can get a bargain...
If $ is not an issue, prime. I got my wife a kindle fire and for a basic tab it's great for $199

I know this gets said often, but I would wait until March/April if you can. The main reason is that the iPad 3 should be released and there will probably be a few quad-core Android tablets. So even if you would be happy with a Tegra 2 tablet, those devices will drive the price down on the older models. However, if you don't care and you just want something NOW, then I would get the Prime. Biggest bang for the buck in that it costs $100 less than a comparable iPad 2 and most of the other Tegra 2 tablets out there. (I always laugh when people say it costs the same, but they compare a 32gb Prime against a 16gb whatever)
That's the tablet I'm buying, i can't wait to have my prime

Well, if you want the 7" form factor with stylus support, a Flyer at $299 isn't half bad. From what I understand the handwriting recognition is better than the Lenovo Thinkpad tablet which is more expensive and there aren't really many other games in town to support a stylus like that. So....sure, it's a valid recommendation for a specific audience.
Lately I have seen the Flyer going from $220-$250 at a lot of these Deal A Day/Slickdeal type of sites. Ebay even had a daily special last week for that price, for the Sprint Evo Tablet, no contract required.
Flyer - great for people that take lots of notes ( students?)
Xoom - This is what I have and i haven't had any issues with it. Just that its a bit on the heavy side
Galaxy Tab - Pretty much same as the xoom just that it doesn't have an expansion slot and its much lighter in weight
Prime - This thing is a beast!!
Im biased but for the price and spec's you can't beat the HP Touchpad.
Android or Webos, whichever one you want to run, plus top of the line specs for a dual core tablet. I love it.
Just get this

The Sony tablet s is great if you aren't planning on rooting it. It is by far the best dual core tablet.
So I received my Transformer Prime today and am having wifi issues (very poor connection strength). Also, I have a group of very bright pixels on the screen.
I know there is a new Transformer tablet in the works that has significantly better specs...so I'd be best to wait. In the meantime, I found a mint TF101 with docking keyboard for $350. Everything checks out and it seems like a great package for the price. This coupled with ICS arriving in two weeks for the TF101 makes it a reasonable decision to return the defective Prime and get this original TF101 w/keyboard.
Is this a good move? I've never owned the original Transformer and hope that it is plenty fast to play flash content. Anyone care to offer a POV on this decision?
I plan on getting the newer Transformer in Q2 when it's rumored to release.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
I have both and the OG TP is pretty damn laggy even with a 1.65 OC.
That + the random reboots and freezes makes in a no go for me.
I did it and am happy with my decision. Wifi is crazy strong and the device is plenty fast.
Wake me up when the new Transformer is released. The Prime isn't ready for prime time IMO.

I would go with Samsung and their Note tablet if you can wait they seem to have their products running pretty good (Galaxy S3) with their hardware and software, and they have good development here for their devices. I wish the Samsung Note Tablet with their CPU and hardware was out when I was deciding what to spend my $650 on.
I would wait before purchasing an Asus tablet again and see if they can fix their I/O performance problems if I were you. The Prime, Nexus 7, TF700, yeah they look nice but looks can be very deceiving as we know (Example= Prime).
IF Asus ever gets the I/O problems fixed then the TF700 or the Nexus 7 could be good choices. I wouldn't buy anything from Asus (Tablets) until you see if they can fix their current issues because if they cant fix the Primes performance they wont fix the TF700 of Nexus 7.
As an owner of the Prime I feel we were basically beta testers for the TF700. I refuse to recommend any Asus tablets after being used as a beta tester they got me once but not going to happen again. The bad part is I had to pay $650 to be beta tester!
Tablets are suppose to be a fun enjoyable experience not as frustrating as its been with the prime, we keep hearing they got an update coming out that's going to fix all the issues, but every time we get an update it does not deliver!

I doubt it. the rear camera was cut out to save on costs. Even without rear camera, its a great deal.
There is a slight chance that down the road, once manufacturing costs drop for this device, they "Might" release a revised version with rear cam. I doubt it though. never say never though

I would wait to see what Samsung is bringing next. If Samsung's next top tier tab comes with a Exynos 5250 it will be far superior to any Tegra powered device. But for $200 a Nexus 7 would be a great buy even if you end iPhone getting a 10" down the road. I bought a GTab 2 7" and think I like the size better than 10".

Hi guys , how y'all doing
I have a GALAXY Tab 10.1 , but I'm thinking of buying an ASUS Transformer Prime Tf201 , but I have concerns for the Wi-Fi issues is it solved ? Or not ? Please answer quickly
P.S : I can't buy the tf300 the TF201 is my only choice.
Thank you

Well, most of the wifi problem is because of the metal backplate. Compared to Padfone (which is plastic) it's about half strength on mine TFP.
It is solved on 300 or 700 with plastic backplate/antenna cover.

WiFi works, just less reception
WiFi works fine for me, I just find that I get lower reception compared to other devices. At home this isn't a problem as I get a good signal through the whole house.
Wifi issue is a manufacturing issue not a design issue. You might get one that works well but unless you are ready to return, return, return (within your in store return window of course. dont wait 6 months and hope to screw a store over) until you get one that is well built dont get a prime.
sorry but how about tf700?
The problem the only transformer available is the tf201 plus I can get it with the keyboard dock for a pretty good price .
If the pad 300 or the pad infinity are available I would bought them .
If there is a special way beside the tearing it I would be appreciative

I have to say I am very disappointed in the prime. And I have two powerful Asus laptops that I love but this is just a slow buggy tablet.

Can be good
I've been pleased with my Prime, and the dock takes it up to a whole different level compared to other tablets. Apparently there's been some variability in manufacturing, though. So if you can buy it and have the option to return, I'd suggest going for it. If it works, in my experience it works well. Not quite a laptop replacement, but very close, say 90%. And at least 300% of the battery life.

I've had the eand I thought it was a wonderful tablet. I really didn't care for the GPS but wifibwas always weak and the ANR finally got to me. I've since swapped it for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and what a Difference! The note is what a tablet should be and finding it super useful with the pen too. Best of all wifi is good, GPS works, and never an ANR. Runs much much faster. To me its a no question option to go with the Samsung Note after having used both devices.

The TF201 is not a tablet, its an electronic project kit. If that doesn't sound like fun don't buy one.
Hi all.. I just sold my Nexus 7 on ebay because I wanted the ability to connect HDMI. Moving up, I won a bid on a Prime on Ebay, but the seller is playing nasty and I haven't received it. That being said, I'm a few days from getting my money back and am wondering if a Prime is the best way to go - after reading about a few of it's issues. Right now I can buy a refurb Prime for $299 locally, or, Sam's has a TF700 for $439. What do you guys & gals think??? Thanks for your help in making the right choice..

I also have had more than acceptable WiFi performance and haven't seen all the "problems" others report. Not saying they are wrong - just that it works fine for my needs. I don't care about GPS. I went ahead and got the free Asus dongle but have never even used it. I even stayed on the stock ROM until JB came along and I lost root. Now I'm using Androwook 1.51 which was really easy and is basically the stock ROM Asus should have made. I'd agree the infinity but if you want to save the money, I think about the only thing the extra dollars would get you is the higher res screen - so you decide if its worth it to you.
I would seriously consider the Galaxy Note 10.1. I think it knocks spots of the Prime (I own both) but then I am one of the unlucky ones who got a bad egg. (just about to RMA the Prime for the second time)
